As a guy who has been collecting and sharpening knives his entire life, having amassed a collection worth more than my car, I have lots and lots of sharpening equipment, from $10 strops, to $300 Japanese stones, to $1400 Wicked edge system, to belt sanders and powdered diamond abrasives, I must say that for someone using a set of whetstones for the first time.... your form was very good! you did a much better job as holding angle, regulating pressure, and forming a burr than most people who are trying it for the first time. Also this is the first video of your's I've seen. New sub here. God bless.
@@Sesquipedalian3 nope, the circular movement is fine, but it's a more advanced movement, specifically for Lower(rougher) grits, to remove metal fast. Once you get a finer grit.. you don't want to do that.
The advantage of the popsicle stick knife is its extremely cheap can probably be made with things already around the house, and because you have control on what the blade should be making it a blunt light wooden blade makes it a perfectly harmless fidget toy. Making it a perfect practice knife that anyone can try at home getting good at the art of spinning it around without hurting yourself.
Or you could just get a trainer, this being made of wood and the ergonomics, and not to mention the terrible tolerances and obviously no washers or bearings, because it’s wood, this thing’s horrible. If you genuinely want to get a trainer get a vulp
I cannot stress enough how exciting this video is for me as you are the reason I've started Balisong flipping, you're the person who made me find what I think is my purpose in life, you're the reason I'm starting an Italian TH-cam channel on this topic and for that I'll never thank you enough. These videos are beyond amazing and entertaining!
I got my first butterfly knife in 1996 as a sophormore in high school. I got a vhs tape showing how to do tricks and fast forwarded past the safety part, into the advanced section, and went to school with bandaids on my fingers for the next two years. By the time I was a senoior I was really good at it, and had a few benchmade high end knifes by that point. I was good enough to have someone hold out their hand flat, and spin the knife into the air just a normil up throw and have it land in their hand open.
9:20 You are right, the 250$ Squid Industries Kraken may be better at flipping because it's a knife made specifically for flipping, the Ceroni is more of an art piece that proves the maker's capabilities of making something truly unique, not focusing 100% on the flipping aspect.
That is true, I have a Ceroni Arachnophobia and a Swordfish and I've always went for the swordfish bc it flips better and it's not valued at 850 bucks. I'd say Ceroni is first and foremost an artist that happens to make balisongs
Why not both though... i would prefer for a price as high as that, it should do both, if not perfect, than at least equally. maybe im picky combined with poor but i would almost be disappointed at a price point like that if it didnt flip well and look good. especially if the makers are one of the top branding of balisongs and the sort.
@@invertedsun well I think in this case it's just that Ceroni has a very distinct style bc he always does heavy titanium with pinsless and a wide gap so that naturally makes them not the best flippers regardless of the price
0:13 I am broke but I AM HAPPY ......dude you just explained the greatest truth in the universe...far reaching from the normal understanding of people....loving your videos man...really inspiring and fun to watch😀😀😀
Butterfly knives originate here in the Philippines located in Batangas City where you can find the finest craftsmen of what we called "BALISONG". Best of the best maker of butterfly knives in the world.
Nope, poor materials used, made from scrap materials, poor qc. Sure it's traditional or authentic and good enough as a utility tool but not constructed for flipping, still using the very primitive style of pivot system. That's why balisong making is dying in the Philippines, no improvement.
Fine grit stones can break if you "drown" them. Depends on what their insides are like. A light spray is all you need. Keep the surface wet while working the knife to get rid of the filings more easily.
If anyone wants a easy balisong to practice with, get the BBbarfly OG or OG2, the weight and balance make it really easy to get the hang of more complex tricks. They are also pretty durable and cheap, so dropping them is no big deal. Hope this helps anyone looking to get into the hobby.
if you look at it, it's just him. they clearly put it like that on purpose for some reason which is interesting. plus, they made him partially translucent, maybe to look like a ghost so people would comment about it and increase engagement? either way it's definitely intentional, but he deserves the views anyways.
Also you’re supposed to put the point on that lil pedestal you ignored and let the weight of the knife cut the wire. You can get a knife that would properly score over a thousand if you did it right score under a hundred by using the wrong technique.
could probably do it with a strike anywhere match type thing, when you open it it has enough friction to light and when you close it the match goes into a channel which starves it of oxygen and cuts the flame, not sure how opening it slowly would work but its probably possible to make it work
@@Mielgamz I dont think he actually got arrested lol. but balisongs are illegal in his country and after the release of this video he took a few months off that's why I said what I said
Just stumbled upon your channel and you’re a funny guy! Balisongs are super fun but I typically use a trainer so I don’t slice myself. Keep up the content! 😂
Gonna be honest, I instinctively tried to blow out the flaming blade cuz it was making me anxious lmao. To be completely serious here tho, I’d suggest continuing to learn tricks with the Krake Raken. It’s really good within the balisong community, and can be great to learn on. If you maintain it well, it’ll last for a good while.
Depending on how the knife was made, its is very important to do the same on both sides on the knife to remove ideally the same amount of material so your cutting edge stays aligned with the center, the reason for this is because a lot of knives are laminated steel with harder better cutting steels at the center and better more corrosion resistant materials on the sides.
if it is real damascus steel (witch i think on that price with pearl inlays) than the "steel sandwitch" you talk about was folded to about 300 layers. so there is no more middle steel
For those curious on what the very expensive balisong at the end was, I believe that is the Ceroni Knives BaliReaper. Ceroni Knives is an independent balisong maker based in Italy who is very well known for making hand-crafted, ornate balisongs that focus more on form over function. Overall, Ceroni balisongs are more collectors pieces rather than performance flippers. The prices are absurd, and at the end of the day not worth it imo. But Ceroni products look damn cool.
I was NOT expecting the 1 of 1 Juggernaut jumpscare in a Mike Shake video P.S. If you talk to Squid again, definitely don't ask them about the Megalodon 😉

Yeah, thanks mate. Ever since I saw your first butterfly knife video, I got one and I'm GREAT at doing tricks now, especially the ones in your first video.
I've had that bottle opener for years. I went to Florence when I was in Uni and during a museum tour we had to pass the metal detectors. I totally forgot I had the "knife" with me. The security guard told me to empty my bag and see the knife, he laughed loud AF that every1 turned their heads and then asked me to give him the link where to buy it. One of the funniest experiences ever.
I love your dedicationa nd how you can rewatch these videos over and over again and it gets better each time. thank you for your dedication for all the time you spend for this.

the guy in back was him
Now all he needs is a disguise kit and an invisi-watch
I would prefer a rocket launcher and showel but yeah
Tip for the sharpness tester, go slow. Going fast messes with the results as it basically cuts the wire with your force instead of the knife’s edge
Also you’re supposed to put the point on that lil pedestal you ignored and let the weight of the knife cut the wire. You can get a knife that would properly score over a thousand if you did it right score under a hundred by using the wrong technique.
Also seemed like he dragged the knife some too. I think that number seems too low for someone first time. I never see knives at that range hardly
He also didn't anchor the edge on the small cylindrical thing
Idk how hard it would be, but modifying the fire one to light when opened and extinguish when closed would be amazing
could probably do it with a strike anywhere match type thing, when you open it it has enough friction to light and when you close it the match goes into a channel which starves it of oxygen and cuts the flame, not sure how opening it slowly would work but its probably possible to make it work
